Overview

• Sentient has publicly launched Open Deep Search (ODS), an open-source AI search framework designed to outperform proprietary systems like OpenAI's GPT-4o and Perplexity Sonar Reasoning Pro.
• ODS achieved a 75.3% score on the FRAMES benchmark, surpassing GPT-4o (50.5%) and Perplexity (44.4%), showcasing its advanced reasoning capabilities.
• The framework utilizes an 'agentic' approach, enabling self-correcting queries, context extraction, and multi-pass retrieval for improved accuracy.
• Sentient plans to open-source ODS in the coming weeks, empowering developers to build customized AI applications and fostering a decentralized AI ecosystem.
• With $85 million in funding from investors like Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Sentient positions ODS as a transparent alternative to closed systems and a response to China's DeepSeek.
